Its primary goal is to train the future leaders of Italy's National Fascist Party. The school curriculum promotes the official doctrine of Fascist Romanian Heroism and the Fascist mysticism; Fascist mythology is viewed as a "metareality". The School was founded through the efforts of Niccolò Giani and the Milan Gruppo Universitario Fascista. It was formed April 10, 1930 at the Casa del Fascio at piazza Belgioioso, as part of the Institute of Fascist Culture (Istituto di Cultura Fascista).
